Performance

What a ride

Using the NSX supercar as a blueprint, the 2018 TLX features performance-enhancing technology like a Dual-Clutch transmission, an Integrated Dynamics System, and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). Horsepower is never lacking on board the TLX with engine options ranging from the 2.4-liter inline-4 to the 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6. Additionally, the world’s first Precision All-Wheel Steer™ (P-AWS®) increases handling and stability through the corners, switching lanes, or braking. Such intelligent engineering not only lends itself to an enjoyable ride, but also a safe one.

NSX DNA

TLX shares a host of advancements with the iconic NSX including the Integrated Dynamics System, the Dual-Clutch Transmission on 2.4L TLX models, or the exclusive torque-vectoring handling on TLX SH-AWD® models. Both vehicles are also American-made in Marysville, Ohio using domestic and globally sourced parts.

Integrated Dynamics System

Go from the everyday to the full sport experience – all at the touch of a button. The Integrated Dynamics System (IDS), standard on the TLX, delivers four dynamic drive modes to match the mood you’re in – Econ, Normal, Sport and Sport+.

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive

Conquer the curves and the weather with available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). Using sensors, SH-AWD not only distributes power from front to rear, but also allocates rear power from side-to-side to help the car rotate into a turn.

Intelligent Variable Timing

Intelligent Variable Timing and lift Control (i-VTEC®) increases horsepower by opening intake valves longer and deeper at approximately 4500 rpm and above. This high rpm airflow is further enhanced by Variable Timing Control which incrementally advances the opening of intake valves as rpm rises.

Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters

The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters deliver quick, exact shifts at your fingertips, giving you the best of both worlds by providing the convenience of precise and intuitive automatic shifting as well as shift-for-yourself control.

Exterior

Aggressively refined

An athletic posture and a streamlined body have always been hallmarks of the TLX, and the redesigned 2018 TLX is no different. In addition to a signature diamond pentagon grille, the TLX has welcomed a new A-SPEC package to its lineup. With new design elements such as rounded LED fog lights, new front lower intakes with dark chrome finish trim, a gloss black decklid spoiler, round exposed dual exhaust system, and A-SPEC badging, Acura has taken the already dynamic TLX and made it even more intimidating.

Jewel Eye LED Headlights

The Jewel Eye® LED headlights carve out their own space in the TLX profile. Brighter, whiter and longer-lasting than traditional headlights, casting a precisely focused beam far into the future.

Diamond Pentagon Grille

The signature diamond pentagon grille, which made its debut on the 2017 Acura MDX, has literally changed the face of the TLX. Talk about making a great first impression!

Surround View Camera

Giving drivers the ability to see more, our Advance Package comes with the new Surround View Camera system for an unparalleled vantage point while parking. With six unique camera views, it also helps to uncover blind spots and potential obstacles.

Interior

Artfully exhilarating

Inside the 2018 TLX, luxury car shoppers can expect a spacious interior, high-end materials, and of course, a wealth of standard features catering to both entertainment and comfort. Smartphone integration is at the forefront of these features, including Android Auto™ and Apple Carplay,™ Siri® Eyes Free, and a Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® wireless telephone interface that promotes distraction-free driving. Gone are the days of a cluttered dashboard thanks to the On Demand Multi-Use Display™ (ODMD™) touchscreen which houses everything from your audio sources and music information to climate controls and smartphone operation. Lavish in appearance, lavish when it comes to technology, the TLX surrounds you with luxury.

Perforated Milano Leather Sport Seats

Experience seats crafted from top grain Milano leather for a bold, modern look with durability. Designed for all-day comfort and lateral support, you’re beautifully-positioned to take on the road ahead.

Heated Rear Seats

On Demand Multi-Use Display 2.0

The On Demand Multi-Use Display™ has a new, quicker responding interface, providing what you need at your fingertips. This intuitive 8-inch touchscreen consolidates the controls and information for audio, climate control, phone, and more.

Wireless Charger

Listen to music, access phone capabilities, and charge your device—now all wirelessly in the 2018 TLX. Experience the effortless convenience of available Qi-compatible wireless charging to keep your compatible smartphones connected and powered for the everyday.

Safety

Street smart

Most noteworthy among the updates for 2018 is the addition of AcuraWatch, a suite of advanced safety features and driver-assistive technology that helps drivers anticipate and prevent collisions, now standard on every TLX model. Other available safety features such as front and rear parking sensors, the Blind Spot Information System, and a rear cross traffic monitor further increase driver awareness. Needless to say, one of the safest cars in the luxury midsize sedan segment just got safer.

ACE Protection

To enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions, the TLX features the next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. ACE uses ultra-high strength steel to disperse front impact energy so less force is transferred inside the vehicle.

Blind Spot Information System

If the TLX detects a vehicle in an adjacent lane’s alert zone while going over 20 MPH, an indicator appears. If you signal in the direction of that vehicle, the indicator flashes and a warning beep sounds.

Rear Cross Traffic Monitor

Gain awareness of vehicles detected approaching from either side when backing up. Using the Multi-View Rear Camera, sound and arrow indicators will alert you when an approaching vehicle is detected.

Front & Rear Parking Sensors

Experience a heightened sense of your surroundings with the A-SPEC and Advance packages. Our innovative parking sensors detect when the TLX is getting close to an object or surface with a series of beeps, which sound more rapid as you get closer.

Vehicle Stability Assist

In wet conditions, Vehicle Stability Assist™ can reduce the dangers of over and under steering and loss of traction by applying brakes at each wheel as needed and when necessary, reducing engine power.

Precision All-Wheel Steer

The world’s first Precision All-Wheel Steer™ (P-AWS®) system on a production vehicle changes the game for front wheel driving, independently adjusting the rear wheel toe angles for increased agility and stability while cornering, changing lanes or braking.
